Investors Alert: Western Asset Management Company Securities Fraud
The Rosen Law Firm, known for its dedication to investor rights, has announced an important class action lawsuit concerning the mutual funds of Western Asset Management Company, LLC. This action presents an opportunity for individuals who purchased specific mutual fund shares from January 1, 2021, to October 31, 2023, to potentially recover losses without incurring upfront legal fees.
Background of the Lawsuit
The lawsuit addresses the Western Asset US Core Bond Fund and Core Plus Bond Fund, which includes various classes of shares such as Class I (WATFX), Class A (WABAX), and Class C (WABCX), among others. During the class period, it is alleged that the company failed to disclose crucial information regarding investment strategy allocations. This omission may have injured investors as it artificially influenced the market price of these funds.
Details of Allegations
According to the lawsuit, defendants are accused of favoring certain trades connected to their Macro Opps strategy while neglecting others like Core and Core Plus. This resulted in unfair allocations that could mislead investors regarding the performance of their investments. The specifics of the lawsuit also point to insufficient compliance policies and oversight mechanisms that failed to protect investors from these practices, thereby acting fraudulently against the interests of mutual fund investors.
